Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2539258A] The present invention provides a control system for a motor vehicle comprising a central tyre inflation system (CTIS) 1 controller and at least one other vehicle system controller arranged to control a system associated with said at least one other vehicle system controller, the CTIS controller being configured to control the CTIS 1 to cause inflation and deflation of one or more tyres T, the CTIS controller being configured to cause the CTIS 1 to operate in a selected one of a plurality of operating modes in each of which the system is configured to set a pressure of one or more tyres T of the vehicle to a predetermined tyre pressure value, the CTIS 1 controller being configured to generate and output a first signal indicative of pressure of the one or more tyres T, the at least one other system controller being configured to receive the first signal and to control operation of the system associated with said at least one other vehicle system controller in dependence at least in part on the first signal. The at least one other vehicle system controller may comprise a brake controller arranged to control a braking system or a power assisted steering system (PAS) controller for controlling a PAS. Also disclosed is a method of controlling a central tyre inflation system 1 and a computer program for carrying out the method on a processor.
